Dailuaine Cooper's Choice - Single Port Cask #305101 Whisky 11 Year Old · 2011 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber-gold with coppery sheen and a tawny, mahogany edge.

Nose

Port-driven aromas of dried fig, raisin and plum mingle with red berries, honeyed vanilla and a waxy sweetness. Almond and toffee-nut notes ride on smooth American oak, while cinnamon and clove provide subtle spice. A hint of cocoa and polished wood adds lacquered depth, foreshadowing a velvety, indulgent mouthfeel to follow.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, the palate sweeps across ripe red fruits with caramelized vanilla from American oak. Tawny Port cask influence brings raisin and fig, layered with nutty toffee notes, while spice and cocoa deepen the mid-palate. Warmth lingers into a long, refined finish with smooth, integrated tannins.

Finish

Long, port-kissed and decadently fruity, the finish coats the palate with ripened plum, fig and raisin, eased by vanilla and almond from the American oak, with a final whisper of spice and cocoa.
